Hi ,

Your worth is NOT tied to a number on a scale or to external factors.

How often have you thought, “I’ll wear that when I lose a little weight”?

You’re not alone. Too many women put off feeling stylish and confident because they believe they need to reach an "ideal weight" first.

The truth: style has NO size limit. In my latest talk, I focus on breaking free from this mindset and embracing the beauty and confidence you deserve—right now! Style is about celebrating and loving yourself in the present, not waiting for a future version of you.

Your journey to Style Confidence starts by letting go of self-doubt and embracing clothing that fits, flatters, and reflects your unique personality. A Colour & Style Analysis will boost your confidence and make shopping easy.

You deserve to feel stylish today—no waiting required! Explore my services here to start your transformation.

Trend Alert: Colourful embroidery!

You’ll find vintage-inspired embroidery accents on everything from jeans to cardigans to dresses and blouses lately. Whether a delicate floral pattern or intricate geometric designs, embroidery adds a personal and artistic touch to any outfit. I remember doing embroidery on jeans as a kid. If you’re at all crafty, embroidery is not that difficult and a fun way to create your own one-of-a-kind garment! These items are from Simons, Talbots, Anthropologie, Taos Footwear and CharlieBLinks to these items are below.

Trend Alert: Latest Jeans

Gray wash jeans:

Gray-wash jeans are trending and are a nice alternative to traditional blue jeans. If black feels too harsh, gray offers a softer option. You can find them in a range of shades, from rich charcoal to barely-there pale gray. If your hair is dark, stick to darker gray. If you have lighter coloured hair, especially graying hair, you’ll look fabulous in a shade of gray close to your hair colour. Wearing your hair colour in your outfit instantly gives you that “put-together” look.

Wide Cuff jeans:

The latest denim trend hitting the streets is jeans with wide cuffs, a bold and playful look that’s making waves in fashion. While undeniably eye-catching, this style has all the markings of a fleeting fad, unlikely to stick around for long. Wide cuffs add significant visual weight to the lower half of the body, making them an ideal choice for taller women who can pull off the extra volume without it disrupting their proportions. However, for those on the shorter side, these jeans can have the opposite effect, visually cutting the legs and making them appear shorter. If elongating your silhouette is the goal, it’s best to steer clear of this trend and opt for cleaner, more streamlined hems instead.

These items are from The Bay, Urban Outfitters and Nordstrom
